Child Proofing

I have a 17 month old and I'm just now child proofing some things. I think it's safe to say I like procrastinating the inevitable. 

For the most part, I don't mind my son wandering around the house and rearranging stuff. But, recently, he's proven some of these aren't ideal for his safety. 

So I finally ordered these:



You know I ordered them from Amazon, right? (here)

These are a bit on the expensive end when compared to other kinds and brands. I got a 10 pack for $25, I'm of the opinion that they're worth it though.

I love these. I think they're amazing and extremely versatile. I had read some problems people were having with the sticky part actually sticking, but I've had no problems with this and have these stuck to various different surfaces. 

Hopefully it's known to clean the area before sticking it - if not... clean the area before sticking it. I used vinegar, alcohol would also work. Just give the area a quick rub down, let it dry and stick your little straps down. Ready to go. 

I have some cabinets that are grooved in such a way that my sticky part couldn't make solid contact with the surface throughout. Even those have held up to the violent pullings of my toddler. 

Still, these get the most love because they're so universal. I didn't have to hunt down cabinet locks, then trash can locks, then drawers locks, etc. If whatever you're needing to secure doesn't exceed the length of the strap, then these will do the job.
